Abstract

Philippe Oihanburu replies in his motion to the famous English folklorist Rodney Gallop: in his understanding, there is no reason to rebel against the penetration of peninsular Basque dances, and in particular the Ezpata-Dantza from Biskaia, in Labourd and in the Lower Navarre. It is necessary to accept innovations, as long as these form part of Basque customs.
